- Type of inpatient care
- Both general inpatient care and respite care
- Medical supplies and equipment
- Brought in through an outside supplier
Short stays in a hospice inpatient unit, hospital, or nursing home for pain or symptoms that cannot be managed where the patient lives, or to give family caregivers a break.
Equipment and supplies tied to the terminal illness and the plan of care, such as a hospital bed, oxygen, wound supplies, or a wheelchair.
Medicare lets hospices provide these services through arrangements with other organizations. Either way, the hospice stays responsible for the covered care in the patient’s plan of care.

What Is Hospice Care Like in CONCORD?
Hospice care in Concord centers on comfort and dignity for patients near the end of life. The care teams visit patients where they live. This could be a private home or a care facility.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should gather information before making a final decision. Start by asking how the team handles pain management after hours. You need to know who to call in the middle of the night. Ask about the typical response time for urgent needs. It helps to understand how they communicate with your primary doctor. Ask how often a nurse will visit the home. You should also ask how they support family caregivers. Do they offer help for emotional or spiritual needs? Ask what happens if the patient needs a higher level of care than home can provide. Does the agency have a contract with local hospitals? These questions help you see if their services match your family's needs. A good provider will answer clearly and with patience. Take your time with this process. You want to feel confident in the team you choose. It makes a difference for everyone involved in the care plan.
